2024-2025学年九年级英语阅读理解限时训练（提高版） 第一篇 Pre-reading: "People in Shanxi Province love aged vinegar (陈醋) so much that they would rather lose their heads than lose their vinegar bottles," said a tour guide from the province. The locally produced vinegar, which usually takes a year to several years to turn into aged vinegar, carries a special smell as it ages. When you eat dumplings, it can greatly strengthen the taste of dumplings. In 2006, the brewing technique (酿制技艺) of Qingxu County was included on the first national-level intangible cultural heritage list. Now let's explore Qingxu together to understand its local vinegar culture. Qingxu County in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, has been a major production area for aged vinegar since ancient times. The aged vinegar made there was known far and wide and was carried by Shanxi merchants during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The production process, which dates back more than 3,000 years, must go through at least five steps. The newly-made vinegar has a light colour, but as the years go by, it becomes thicker and darker.The aging process (陈化过程) lasts at least one year, which is where the name"aged vinegar" comes from. To this day, the work is still mostly done by hand. Inside a local workshop in Qingxu, which is built in ancient style, workers dressed in Ming Dynasty clothing are busy performing traditional vinegar brewing tasks. "They are not actors, but real workers," says Mr Zhang, manager of the workshop."With the rapid development of our company, our customers have shown increasing interest in knowing how the aged vinegar is made, as well as its cultural background." In addition, to meet high standards, new equipment (设备)and techniques have been added to the production process. In the workshop,190 fermentation tanks (发酵罐) are lined up like soldiers. "Both fermentation and smoking (熏) tasks can be achieved without human help. We even use 5G technology for digital control," Mr Zhang adds. "While the vinegar is fermented by machine, it still goes through the traditional aging process, so its taste remains unchanged." Still, in recent years, the vinegar industry in Qingxu has been adapting to the times. While it continues its tradition, it has welcomed new ideas, such as ice cream with vinegar and tangyuan with vinegar fillings. ( ) 1. What leads to the vinegar being called aged vinegar?

As the Singles Day shopping festival gets closer, she begins searching online for the foods she plans to buy. To her surprise, she discovers that her birthplace in Yunnan is a production area for Scotch whisky (苏格兰威士忌).It's not just Scotch whisky; many familiar foods from abroad have found a home across China."Discovering the world's flavours right on our doorstep is like opening a treasure box in our own backyard," Kathy says. Earlier this year, an online survey was done to find local products in people's hometowns that were unknown before. The results show some unexpected facts: for example, Gansu produces seafood South American white shrimp, and Anhui has the largest goose liver production base in China. One of the most interesting results is that Heilongjiang has the largest cranberry(蔓越莓) plantation in Asia. Cranberries mainly grow between 40 and 5o degrees north latitude(北纬)and requirevery special growing conditions. For a long time, cranberries in China were mostly wild, and it had been difficult to achieve large-scale cultivation ( 规模种植). In 2014, cranberry cultivation was successfully introduced to Fuyuan City from North America. Fuyuan shares the same latitude as the main cranberry-producing areas worldwide and it has a similar natural environment. After overcoming many planting challenges, cranberries are now grown there on a larger scale. Expert Li Guoxiang notes, "In recent years, China's agricultural modernization(农业现代化) has greatly improved production by reducing the influence of natural conditions. So many new local products have appeared. Although some of these characteristic industries(特色产业) are imported from other countries, Chinese farmers have added their own characteristics with the help of technology, creating successful examples that have helped the rise of China's agriculture."
